A little bit about me

I'm an upbeat, interactive, patient, attentive, athletic, articulate & highly-nurturing, & creative woman who has over 10 yrs working as a NYC nanny, with ages 6 wks-11 yrs old. I've also been employed as a Hatha Yoga teacher as part of a remedial reading/writing art program in the public schools, as well as an actor in Children's Theatre. I genuinely enjoy creating a supportive, safe, loving, happy & healthy environment, in which a child can laugh & learn. I teach baby sign language, happily run around playgrounds & parks, read lots of books, encourage speech via lively verbal interactions, create music, sing, dance, play stimulating, age-appropriate toys & games, and, of course, spend lots of affectionate & cuddly time together. I have cared for disabled adults & for children with emotional challenges, which developed even more so my natural patient & caring nature.

"We cannot recommend Lisa highly enough. She has been with our family for three years, starting when our eldest was just 6 months old and seamlessly welcoming our second son, born in 2024. She truly loves our boys like her own — and they feel it. What makes her exceptional is her total presence and genuine investment in our kids' development. She is never on her phone — always engaged, always stimulating: reading, singing, playing music, and getting them outside. She proactively recommends books, toys, and activities perfectly suited to each child's age and personality. When we moved from NYC to NJ, she chose to commute rather than leave our boys. That says everything. Any family would be lucky to have her."
